The rain actually lightened up the next morning, and everyone could see with the naked eye that the rain gradually stopped. Although there are still dark clouds in the sky, the sunlight behind the dark clouds shines on the earth through the gaps in the clouds.
Li Tianya and Yao Feier couldn't help but marvel at the scenery when they saw it through the window.
The audience also posted comments in the 404 live broadcast room:
[what happened? It’s not even time yet and the weather will be fine? ]
[Have you ever heard of the return of light? ]
[So there may be a more severe disaster coming, and the sunny weather is making the players paralyzed right now? ]
[This is a world of heavy rain and floods with variable difficulty. Do you think sunny days are normal? ]
[When things go wrong, there must be a monster. ]
Yao Feier also said: "The weather I calculated based on the meteorological parameters was not sunny. Why did the weather suddenly change? It feels like the temperature has increased."
Li Tianya took out the city's weather data from previous years to compare the current situation, and said: "The outdoor temperature is still lower than in previous years, but sunny days are always a good thing. Maybe it is a rare rest period in the world of natural disasters. Postponing the next disaster is not something you do once a week.”
Zhou Ming looked at the sky and said with a half-smile, "It's not necessarily a good sign that the sky is clear. Maybe I'm holding back my big move."
Li Sa agreed: "The boss is right. I think we should be prepared today. We should inventory the existing supplies and separate the necessary emergency supplies. Each person should bring an emergency kit. If we are separated, we can last for a few days. .”
Yao Feier said: "I am responsible for keeping an eye on that server. If there is a flood that is more severe than last time or a building collapses, I will close that server so that when the situation stabilizes, we can restore contact more quickly."
Zhou Ming felt relieved when he saw that the two girls were actively responding, and then asked: "Xiao Li, do you have any ideas?"
"If there is another severe flood in the city, will my money be of no use?" Li Tianya was thinking about how to use his advantages.
Before shopping and stocking up, his plan was basically to set aside 100,000 yuan a week. This is a guarantee. Even if he gives up his current supplies, he can still use the remaining money to buy food and drink in the future. But what if the entire city was flooded? At that time, it was not easy to buy things with money. Most people who had supplies would stock up on their own, and the possibility of price gouging was not even ruled out.
Li Sa, however, put forward a relatively optimistic statement based on his experience in the previous life: "I think the city's official organizations have always been on duty. If something like the city-wide submergence really happened, they might not lose control. They It is likely that a rationing system will be adopted to distribute materials to survivors, and if you have money then you may be able to buy other things.”
Yao Feier said: "Yes, if you spend money to buy something now, it will probably be folded on the road before it can be delivered. Players occupy the territory, and they will have the idea of purchasing for zero yuan or taking advantage of others."
While several people were talking, Zhou Ming suddenly made a silent gesture.
Everyone immediately shut up and dispersed behind a few concrete walls, rather than running to the window and making a fool of themselves.
Zhou Ming listened for nearly a minute and said: "The flood is coming again, and the embankment broke two or three kilometers away from us."
The last time the embankment broke was at that section, and later it was only temporarily repaired by piling rocks and sandbags. After all, the rain has not stopped, municipal maintenance work has been slow, and the levees cannot be repaired with minor repairs.
"Just take the supplies you have with you. Let's go to the top floor. I've stored some supplies there." Zhou Ming's tone was urgent.
This top floor does not refer to the sixth floor, but the rooftop of the sixth floor. The bungalow is designed with a garden on the roof, with some landscapes and green plants, but there is no scenery during the short winter. There has been a lot of rain recently, and the plants have grown wildly for a while. Later, when the temperature became colder, the greenery gradually faded.
It's still a sunny day, and it's rare for everyone to go up to the rooftop without wearing raincoats, but unfortunately we can't see much sunlight. The clouds in the sky are still very thick, and the humidity in the air is very high. If the temperature hadn't dropped, I would have felt chest tightness and shortness of breath.
Li Sa saw that the plants were already sick. The heavy rain had been raining for so long, which was equivalent to soaking the plants in water every day. Most of the plants carefully cultivated as landscapes could not withstand such ravages.
She picked up the telescope and looked at the surrounding buildings that were not flooded. Most of the nearby buildings were residential buildings. On rare days when it didn't rain, everyone opened their windows to get some air.
Some people can't wait to dry their clothes on the balcony outside the window. Even if there is no strong sunlight, natural air drying is better than drying clothes in the house.
Most areas of the city were without power. Li Sa had paid attention to the night view of the city before. The iconic buildings would be equipped with night lights or the kind of lighting that simply outlines the edges. Now those lights have long been darkened, and the whole building is pitch black.
She looked in the direction of the river, and sure enough she saw the raging water rushing towards her face.
Pedestrians began to appear on some streets in the city that had not been flooded before. They had no idea that a flood would occur on such a sunny day. Many people could not avoid it and were swallowed up by the water.
The villa area is not the lowest-lying place in the city. It is just a flood path. However, the water accumulated some time ago has not receded at all. Now a huge amount of water is sweeping in from the upper reaches, which may directly turn this place into a marsh.
Moreover, this time the flood was very powerful and destructive, and many buildings were washed away as far as the eye could see.
Zhou Ming said: "I'll collect the garbage boat. You guys go to the elevator machine room. Li Sa, please inform the property management people to come up too."
The people in the property management originally lived on the sixth floor of the bungalow. Even if Li Sa told them that the flood was coming again, more violent than last time, they didn't feel the need to move to the roof.
However, after being reminded, Director Li still asked people to pay attention to the flood situation outside. Considering that the third floor of the villa area is now soaked in water, even if the huge amount of water is just passing by, there may be short-term flooding. If the window is really damaged, you will have something on hand to repair and plug the leak in time.
Li Sa advised: "The water level has not receded for a long time, which means that not only the underground river on our side is blocked, but also the water content downstream is probably saturated. There is no outlet for the huge flood, and eventually the water level on our side will not be lowered."
Director Li said: "I know, we will move it up as appropriate."
Li Sa knew that Director Li had lived in this city for more than 20 years and had many deep-rooted ideas. For example, he did not believe that rain would fall for several weeks. For example, even if the upper reaches broke the embankment, the lower reaches would always be able to release floods. After all, the villa area was a place in the torrent. In the highlands, the fact that even the sixth floor is covered by water is an exaggeration.
The highest water level Li Sa had ever seen in her previous life was when the fifth-floor windows in the bungalow area were punctured by foreign objects carried by the flood, but that was the end of her stay in this world. They rushed to the sixth floor and lost a lot of daily necessities. Fortunately, everyone was fine.
But now, the rain has obviously stopped. The mentality of the local indigenous people is that the heavy rain has finally stopped, and they are much more relaxed than in the previous days. Suddenly encountered another flood, caught off guard, more people were unable to escape, and those who were lucky enough to survive fell into a greater crisis.
The second update of the double update, there will still be three updates tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, Saturday and Sunday.
